  "account": "US Senator Bernie Sanders has criticized Elon Musk for spending $366 million to support Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, citing the tech billionaire's significant wealth growth since backing President Donald Trump. Sanders noted that Musk's $290 million donation helped elect Trump, and since then, Musk has become the world's first trillionaire, now worth $696 billion. In response, Sanders urged to stop Musk and put an end to oligarchy. Musk, however, defended his spending, arguing that competition would benefit Indian consumers by offering them more choices and that Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, would not go out of business due to reduced profits.",
